Description
This workshop run by darning enthusiast Celia Pym explores textile repair. You’ll learn and develop skills in woven and ‘knitted’ darning, Sashiko, Boro and patching. Please bring along your holey but loved woollies to repair and any damaged textiles which you would like to discuss options for. You can make repair a feature in your work by using contrasting yarn for beautiful results.
Celia Pym is an artist living and working in London. Most recently her work has been included in exhibitions at the Royal Festival Hall, Southbank Center and Pump House Gallery. She is currently a visiting lecturer in Knitted and Mixed Media textiles at the Royal College of Art. She says that “darning is often small acts of care and paying attention to where things fray and wear out”.
Darning materials will be provided. However for the patching, if you have old sheets or shirts that have grown old and are no longer worn please bring them!
This event takes place in the Community room of Enfield Town Library.
Why not also go along to our free drop-in clothes swapping event between 4-6pm at the nearby Dugdale Centre: https://billetto.co.uk/en/events/clothingswapenfield
